The book explores the evolving dynamics of China-U.S. relations, asserting that great power competition is the new normal, making a return to previous cooperation unrealistic. It critiques traditional approaches like "peaceful coexistence" and "maximum pressure," advocating instead for a strategy of "great power cooperation through competition." The author emphasizes the necessity of understanding the Chinese Communist Party's nature during this competition and encourages both nations to reassess their foreign policy strategies to effectively navigate their complex relationship.

The book delves into the emergence of China as a significant global player following its economic resurgence in the 1980s, contrasting the China model with the Washington Consensus. It examines the implications of a new global competition between capitalist nations and China, questioning the potential for Western hegemony to diminish and whether China's communist system can withstand this challenge. By analyzing the dual nature of the China model's decline and expansion, the author suggests that the future of Western dominance hinges on how the West engages with this evolving paradigm.
